Hey all you DA'ers!

It's been waaaay too long! I haven't updated my journal in almost 2 months, but that doesn't mean I haven't been scurrying around here behind the scenes like the hair on Robin Williams knuckles blowing in the wind! I have much delicious news to herald!

First of all, I have distributed the contest prizes! All except for the wiley and elusive who is going to collect double the amount of his prize when he drops the anticipated 2nd Round of Win, Lose or Grow! Can I cook up a spicy meatball or what!? So, feeling guiltless and fancy free for once on DA I have been commissioning away more than Xanadu is worth, in order to pump up the volume of some lovelies out there on the site.

SO, keep on the lookout for a massive comic from in the near future. I am willing to bet that you nuts out there can't guess which characters I commissioned Silv' to "tamper" with

Also, RED FUCKING ALERT!

I...... have a new OC!!! Put to the paper by the ever majestic Yep, that's right! Lexi has a new amigo to chum, bum and increase the SUM of her tittays with! I'm sure Lexi wouldn't mind a much needed break from being in the spotlight of my commissioning expansion ray BUT, I thought it would be much greater fun if this new OC was more of an instigator, kind of messing up and fuddling Lexi into encountering more bounce to her bosom.

Now here is where I would appreciate some input:

1. The new OC's name.
- Her name is Ericka, but if there is another really popular character in the inflation realm or somewhere else on DA with this same name, then I would really appreciate a heads up. I don't think there is, but it's better to be safe. Overuse of the same name just annoys me and I definitely don't want to infringe on the name of another popular character out there, such as BlackSen's "Rachel" or JollyJacks "Chloe". Ya know what I meeaan?

2. Do you guys think I should lean more BE towards one OC and more ButtEx towards another? Or just tons of expansion for both? I wonder what that answer will be haha. I thought about reversing BE and ButtEx between them every few commissions or so, or maybe even sticking Lexi with strictly BE and Ericka with strictly ButtEx. Fire away with any input.

3. We all know Lexi's fickley ironic, sacastic and apathetic attitude. Well anti-apathetic when it comes to BE since she strongly believes that it's a god-awful device created by ex-disney employee's now working for coca-cola. What sort of personality would you like to see in Ericka? What kind of personality would allow for Lexi and Ericka to work off of one another and allow for some great expansion scenarios, as well as witty dialogue? My first thought was to make Ericka schizophrenic, and have her be very nice, down to earth and polite amongst many spurts of evil and expansive behanviour. The whole schizophrenic thing might offend some people though.

Hmmm, that pretty much wraps up business for now. I'm also trying to cook up a commission with an undecided Halloween commission with to help relieve him of the barrage of L4D Zoey requests he's been getting and also an animation from good ol'

Lots of shit is going down! Get excited!

I'm off to upload the Ericka pics. Feel free to drop me a line,

LP
